Which is very interesting but it brings us full-circle to what Hamish said - "Which ugly distribution requires this?" I think the Redhat (Fedora), Mandrake et al approach of putting 32bit libs in "/usr/lib" and 64bit libs in "/usr/lib64" is much neater and much simpler than using chroot and creating lib paths such as "/var/chroot/sid-ia32/usr/lib" We've gone a little OT for this list now, so apologies to everyone. -- Stuart Morgan _______________________________________________ mythtv-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-dev
